A Boy Cuts the Throat Of his Mother.
Brother and Sister.
ST.. LOUIS, March 22.-One year ago this
month one of the bloodiest murders OF
human beings known was committed near
Erie, Kansas. J. W. Sell, a well-to-do
farmer, and his whole family, excepting one
son, Willie, a boy OF sixteen years old. were
found murdered, their heads being crushed
and their throats cut. There has been a
great diversity OF opinion as to whether
Willie Sell committed the murder. On the
trial there was no evidence. and the State
failed to find any motive for the crime.
On the contrary it was proven that Willie
was an exceptionally good boy, and that
he and his sister Ina we're more
than commonly fond of each other.
The boy confessed last night
that his father on the night of the murder
had quarre]ed with his son Watt, when the
latter struck his father with a Ratchet.
Willie obtained the hatchet from Watt
and knocked Wattdown. The mother and
sister came into the DON screaming and
Willie knocked them down. In q frenzy he
cut his brother Watts throat, and then
declared that if any of the others came to
life he feared they would declare he had
killed Watt, and 81 he cut their throats.
The recital corresponds to the facts ascer-
tanned at the trial,

The last will of Storey ~bequeathing his

The cowboy will worst the vaquero in
Craftsmanship; he can pick up a piece of
money of the ground, as his horse runs
by at a gallop, with greater deXterity; he
eXcels him in the barbarous pastime cor
rer ell gallo-plucking Off from a horses
back the head Of q cock buried in the
ground. But il is necessary TO make one
concession-I never saw a white man who
could cheat at cards with the consummate
cleverness Of Tueh, a California Indian,
who once served as my interpreter. The
cowboy does not spin the lasso with any
greater deXterity or with any nearer ap-
proach to infallibility than the vaquero,
perhaps; but he displays more audacity
and more resources in subjuGating the
savage beasts, by courtesy called oxen,
after they are once made fast.
My host had in his employ u German,
Texan born and bred, whom he had re-
peatedly pitCed against his vaqueros in
that supreme test of skill and strength,
the lassoing, tying, yoking and bringing
TO camp Of a pair Of untamed steers. Karl
was always the winner in time, from a
half minute TO five minutes. He would
lasso and throw to the earth the first one,
dismount and bind his legs, then hunt the
second into close proximity, catch him,
trice him up, if necessary, tie him, yoke
the twain, lash their fly brushes together
70 prevent them from turning the yoke"
then cast oil loose and hunt them into
camp-a truly Hcrculean achievement

Lenses Made of Ice.

The London correspondent Of lie Mon.
iteUr de la Photographic writes to that
journal that in the middle of the winter
which has just elapsed a student made q
lens OF ice, with which he lit the pipes Of
some of the skaters on the Serpentine by
means Of the solar rays, an experiment,
he says, which was first performed in the
polar regions by DR.. Scoresby to the great
establishment of the sailors, for they could
not understand why the ice did not freeze
the beams of the sun. We may remark
that Professor Tyndall ut times would set
fire, at the Royal institution, to q little
heap of gunpowder with rays from the
electric arc concentrated upon the powder
by means Of a lens of ice. His eXplana-
ton was that although ice absorbs rays Of
certain wave lengths, and is gradually
melted thereby, other waves it does not
absorb, and these latter produce the heat
ing effect at the focus of the lens. 1t is
wholly a question Of the relative motions
Of the molecules OF frozen water and the
motions of the waves of light; when there
Is discord between the two the discordant
waves pass through the ice without alb
sorption. - British Journal Of Pho

Across 10 that strange country, the Beyond,
And yet not strange, for 1t has grown TO be

They make Il seem familiar and most dear,
As Journeying friends bring distant countries
near.
So close il lies that, when my sight is clear,

/ know, l feel that those who've gone from here
Come near enough TO touch my hand;
l often think, but for our yelled eyes,
We should find heaven right round us lies.
j cannot make IL seem a day to dread
When from this dear earth I shall journey out
To that still dearer country Of the dead,
And join the lost ones So long dreamed about.
l love this world, yet shall l love TO go
And meet the friends who wait for me, I know.
And so for me there is no sting to death,
And so the grave has lost SIS victory;
IL Is but crossing, with a bated breath,
And white, set face, a little strip OF sea,
To find the loved ones waiting on the shore,
More beautiful, more precious than before.

Professional AiIipps.

Recently, in the evolution Of modern
sports, we have heard also Of the pitchers
arm and the lawn tennis elbow. Nature,
it seems, hath her peculiar revenge for
each separate pastime carried to excess.
And as we are entering, apparently, or an
epoch of sports, we may expect to find
medical science and medical practitioners
enriched by various strange and quaint
maladies Of amusements. We already
know Of the rope jumpers heart disease,
and bicycling, pedestrianism, bowling,
football and otter sports are supposed to
breed each r. characteristic i'll. Nodoubt
such seemingly innocent pastimes as bean
bags, archery, amateur photography and
humble the peg lead to their W dis
tressing maladies.
But this is not all. Several sports have
moral symptoms OF a most painful nature.
Thus croquet playing leads irresistibly to
cheating and fishing to lying, so that such
sports involve danger to the soul as well
as body, and are TO be avoided on that ac-
count.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiSer.
